Restoring Connection in Education:
Bringing Music, Philosophy and Spirit into Dialogue
As a society we have committed to providing a universal basic education for all. What does it mean for a person to receive an education that integrates his/her unique potential within society as a whole? Integration is not easily achieved, as is evidenced by our current crisis in education. Not everyone one fits into, or is well cared for, by the current system. This dialogue will explore our underlying philosophy of education, the spiritual potential of each human being and the promise music holds as an integrative discipline.
Please join the conversation as we look for
pathways for positive change in the education system.
